We are looking for a nurse with experience in psychiatry

We are looking for a nurse with experience in psychiatry who wants to work in an organization with a holistic perspective on children and families.

With us, you will be part of a team with clear working methods and good development opportunities.

Stockholm Center for Eating Disorders (SCÄ) is one of the largest specialist clinics in the world for patients with eating disorders and receives patients of all ages. We have a well-developed operation with digital care, outpatient care, intensive outpatient care, day care, round-the-clock care, and nationally specialized care for both adults, children, and adolescents. Today, we have nearly 280 employees. Our outpatient and day care services are located in Södermalm, and our round-the-clock care is at Danderyd Hospital.

Round-the-clock care for children and adolescents has space for 12 families. Family work is a central role in the treatment where parents are present with their children throughout the treatment period and are strengthened in their parental role while gaining increased knowledge about the eating disorder. Here, we work closely in teams with nurses, nursing assistants, psychiatrists, dietitians, and social workers. Together, we use evidence-based methods, such as FBT (Family-Based Treatment), to provide each family with the tools they need for sustainable change.

Do you want to work with and learn more about patients with eating disorders? We offer you, as a licensed nurse, a stimulating and pleasant workplace where we put the patient at the center. You will receive training in our treatment methods as well as regular supervision. We are an engaged team with high competence and strive to provide patients with the best care. We aim to create an open and pleasant working climate with close collaboration between our various units. Every week, families have the opportunity to meet a Participation Coordinator, and we have a close collaboration with the patient association Frisk och Fri. Together with us, you will have the opportunity to grow, thrive, and continue to develop our eating disorder care.
